Restaurant Dae Mon

Overall a good meal with Sommelier suggesting a wonderful bottle of wine to accompany, however desserts were a disappointment given the quality of the rest. Ratings for each dish: Pre-starters: 4* Tuna dish: 5* Mushroom dish: 5* Yolk & Clam dish: 3* Corn dish: 5* Pork dish: 5* Wasabi dish: 3.5* Mochi dessert: 4* Sweet potato dessert: 2*

The carrot and beef dishes were excellent. Really enjoyed this dinner (tasting menu). 4* is due to the desserts - these could have improved the shaved matcha was a little too icy and lacked a crunch element. Music inside was also great!

Visited Dae Mon as part of a friend’s birthday celebration. The menu was fantastic, beautifully presented and delicious dishes. Whilst some of them were a bit too sweet for me (personal taste rather than something being wrong with the ingredients), the variety of textures and combinations was really creative. Great value for money to experience fine cuisine at the heart of Berlin. Service is immaculate and all staff are very knowledgeable about the menu.

Really excellent Asian inspired food in modern setting. Service a bit rushed and not the best but understandable as we booked the last spot at 2130, so it wasn't far off the kitchen closing. I would recommend maybe limiting reservations to 21:00 for people to actually get the full experience. We had a 6 course version of the 8 course tasting menu with two of the paired wines, a crémant to start and an espresso at the end of our meal. The food was all excellent. With the 6 courses the dessert we finished on was good but would have been better followed by the actual final strawberry dessert that we didn't get to chance to try. The appetisers / amuse bouche we're brilliant. There is a focus on mushrooms on the menu which we really enjoyed and is done well. Sea bass was very high quality and the dash with it had great flavour. The following courses were all excellent, although for me personally the mushroom French toast course's yuzu miso sauce was a little overpowering for the other flavours to come through. Octopus course was great, but they sent out the takoyaki very hot (and warned us) but again we were there at the end of the night so understand a bit of a rush on our food. The beef course was incredible. Perfect texture and temperature of the beef with accompanying sauces. Curd/courgette flower deep fry was nice but also a bit too hot with a rush on our meal. The dessert we had, soybean based with a meringue was nice but missing a fresh element to finish on as we had our final course dropped with the late service. They also served an umeboshi and caramel filled chocolate at the end, like petit fours. Great combo of flavours. Espresso was also great quality coffee. Decent value for money when considering fine dining in Berlin. Expensive essentially. We paid €330 between 2. Water is charged at €5 a head. €330 covered water, 5 glasses of different wine (€8-13 a glass), and two 6-course tasting menus (€118 each). The 8-course is €138 per person with €10 off for any course you don't want. I would say 6 courses is enough to be full, for balance of the menu and value all 8 courses would be the best deal. Worth it if you're able to get there for 2100 at the latest. They probably shouldn't offer a 2130 seating if they only serve a tasting menu, or should certainly have a disclaimer when booking, about the number of courses and service may be affected. Food was really well done overall. Nice modern setting, well lit by tables but still feels pretty cosy. Service is polite.

The food was excellent and the service was very good. The staff is polite and also mindful of the guest’s tastes. I ordered a wine pairing but the server sensed that the paired wines were not my taste. He then got me a wine I liked and charged me only for the wines I drank, removing the total wine pairing cost. What would make this place an even nicer experience is better and polished cutlery and more defined artwork in decor. At that price, even the little details matter. I really liked the food. The portions were just perfect for a 9-course meal and even the items that I don’t usually like - beetroot for example - were used in a way that tasted good.

Friendly staff, great menu with so many dishes, amazing accompanying teas

Excellent starters but the main courses were not special nor innovative. For the price per person, one would expect a lot more than duck breast with broccolini or a tofu bao. The beef stripe wasn’t tender and desserts also disappointing. I was at a company event and enjoyed the experience but would have been very disappointed to pay for this dinner myself. Friendly service but absolutely not professional to a 1* level. It’s a good casual dining but not a unique experience.

Lovely, well informed service staff that perfectly attends and guides their guests through the menu. The tasting menu is extraordinary well crafted and has a really nice flow from course to course. The fusion theme is well met, bringing together european ingredients and asia interpretation or vice versa. The black overall design with neon lights and bright colored pictures provides a perfect atmosphere.
